That is correct. The packet driver sorts packets by type, sending all
IP packets to the IP stack, and packets of other types to their respective
stacks. Once one IP stack has "registered" with the packet driver, another
IP stack cannot use it, however, a product based on another protocol type, 
such as Netware (IPX), can use it.
